Poem No. 58

POEM TITLE The Lobster Pot

POEM Last night was the best night I’ve had out in ages

We went to a pub of the Blackness kind, it had

Baskets for lamps and at various stages

We laughed ’til we cried and read from the pages

Of works by Stephenson, Burns, Doyle and Barrie

Last night was the best night I’ve had out in ages

I invested my time and all of my wages

In lobster and wine, just enjoying this space with its

Baskets for lamps and at various stages

Paintings of seascapes and portraits of sailors

They had urns on the bar, a wee bird and a cooler

Last night was the best night I’ve had out in ages

They had chalk in the loos and the walls were my pages

So I chalked up a comment to say what I thought

And the ten words I used to make my report

Were scrawled out in lime, I was drunk, it took ages -

Tonight is the best night I’ve had out in ages.
